My friend Wesley, over at iManscape. wrote an article around that subject that focuses on what women really think of men with beards. He broke down information from many studies into an easy to read article covering the topic and threw in some tips for the men.
Some of the data might surprise you…
Beards are post trend. I’ve got a giant hipster beard and ~2 years ago it was a literal pussy magnet. Now old ladies compliment it.
Fashion follows cycles and we all know how quickly women jump ship.
Innovator phase > Insider Phase > Trendy Phase > Common > Passe
We are now solidly in the Common phase. People not in tune with fashion or trends have picked up that “beards are in” whilst in Manhattan or LA beards are being shaved.
The “beardies” have almost completely vanished. I’m no longer a rare unicorn as women can have face fur rubbed against there crotch by almost anyone these days.
